Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"There's not a huge amount of activity in the docs tree this time
around, but a few significant changes even so:
- A complete rewriting of the top-level index.rst file, which mostly
reflects itself in a redone top page in the HTML-rendered docs. The
hope is that the new organization will be a friendlier starting
point for both users and developers.
- Some math-rendering improvements.
- A coding-style.rst update on the use of BUG() and WARN()
- A big maintainer-PHP guide update.
- Some code-of-conduct updates
- More Chinese translation work
Plus the usual pile of typo fixes, corrections, and updates"

checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be
avoided, however, Linus notes:
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [1]
So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it,
make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed.
As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing
the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.

This one file should not really be in the top-level documentation
directory. core-api/ may not be a perfect fit but seems to be best, so
move it there. Adjust a couple of internal document references to make
them location-independent, and point checkpatch.pl at the new location.

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:
commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")
In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in
commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")

Dmitrii, Fangrui, and Mashahiro note:
Before GCC 11 and Clang 12 -gsplit-dwarf implicitly uses -g2.
Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for gcc-11+ & clang-12+ which now need -g
specified in order for -gsplit-dwarf to work at all.
-gsplit-dwarf has been mutually exclusive with -g since support for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT was introduced in
commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4")
I don't think it ever needed to be.

kernel symbols, we need to filter "L0" symbols in LoongArch architecture.
$ cat System.map | grep L0
9000000000221540 t L0
The L0 symbol exists in System.map, but not in .tmp_System.map. When
"cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map" will show "Inconsistent kallsyms

Since commit 8564ed2b3888 ("Kbuild, lto: Add a gcc-ld script to let run gcc
as ld") in 2014, there was not specific work on this the gcc-ld script
other than treewide clean-ups.
There are no users within the kernel tree, and probably no out-of-tree
users either, and there is no dedicated maintainer in MAINTAINERS.
Delete this obsolete gcc-ld script.

-Wformat was recently re-enabled for builds with clang, then quickly
re-disabled, due to concerns stemming from the frequency of default
argument promotion related warning instances.
commit 258fafcd0683 ("Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang")
commit 21f9c8a13bb2 ("Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang"")
ISO WG14 has ratified N2562 to address default argument promotion
explicitly for printf, as part of the upcoming ISO C2X standard.
The behavior of clang was changed in clang-16 to not warn for the cited
cases in all language modes.
Add a version check, so that users of clang-16 now get the full effect
of -Wformat. For older clang versions, re-enable flags under the
-Wformat group that way users still get some useful checks related to
format strings, without noisy default argument promotion warnings. I
intentionally omitted -Wformat-y2k and -Wformat-security from being
re-enabled, which are also part of -Wformat in clang-16.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

commit 26ea6bb1fef0 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Supress warnings unless W=1-3")

There is a test in powerpc's Kconfig which checks __LONG_DOUBLE_128__
and sets CONFIG_PPC_LONG_DOUBLE_128 if it is understood by the compiler.
We currently don't handle it, so this results in PPC_LONG_DOUBLE_128 not
being in super-config generated by dummy-tools. So take this into
account in the gcc script and preprocess __LONG_DOUBLE_128__ as "1".

Since commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link,
removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS"), module versioning is broken on
some architectures. Loading a module fails with "disagrees about
version of symbol module_layout".
On such architectures (e.g. ARCH=sparc build with sparc64_defconfig),
modpost shows a warning, like follows:
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "_mcount" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
Is "_mcount" prototyped in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>?
Previously, it was a harmless warning (CRC check was just skipped),
but now wrong CRCs are used for comparison because invalid CRCs are
just skipped.
$ sparc64-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux
[snip]
0000000000c2cea0 r __ksymtab__kstrtol
0000000000c2ceb8 r __ksymtab__kstrtoul

0000000000c2cee8 r __ksymtab__mcount
0000000000c2cf00 r __ksymtab__printk
0000000000c2cf18 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock
0000000000c2cf30 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock_bh
[snip]
0000000000c53b34 D __crc__kstrtol
0000000000c53b38 D __crc__kstrtoul
0000000000c53b3c D __crc__local_bh_enable
0000000000c53b40 D __crc__printk
0000000000c53b44 D __crc__raw_read_lock
0000000000c53b48 D __crc__raw_read_lock_bh
Please notice __crc__mcount is missing here.
When the module subsystem looks up a CRC that comes after, it results
in reading out a wrong address. For example, when __crc__printk is
needed, the module subsystem reads 0xc53b44 instead of 0xc53b40.
All CRC entries must be output for correct index accessing. Invalid
CRCs will be unused, but are needed to keep the one-to-one mapping
between __ksymtab_* and __crc_*.
The best is to fix all modpost warnings, but several warnings are still
remaining on less popular architectures.

Commit 36d4b36b6959 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.
This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.
This leads to the following:

The .incbin assembler directive is much faster than bin2c + $(CC).
Do similar refactoring as in commit 4c0f032d4963 ("s390/purgatory:
Omit use of bin2c").
Please note the .quad directive matches to size_t in C (both 8 byte)
because the purgatory is compiled only for the 64-bit kernel.
(KEXEC_FILE depends on 64BIT).

This reverts commit 258fafcd0683d9ccfa524129d489948ab3ddc24c.
The clang -Wformat warning is terminally broken, and the clang people
can't seem to get their act together.
This test program causes a warning with clang:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
}
resulting in
t.c:5:19: warning: format specifies type 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Wformat]
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
~~~~ ^~~
%d
and apparently clang people consider that a feature, because they don't
want to face the reality of how either C character constants, C
arithmetic, and C varargs functions work.
The rest of the world just shakes their head at that kind of
incompetence, and turns off -Wformat for clang again.
And no, the "you should use a pointless cast to shut this up" is not a
valid answer. That warning should not exist in the first place, or at
least be optinal with some "-Wformat-me-harder" kind of option.
[ Admittedly, there's also very little reason to *ever* use '%hh[ud]' in
C, but what little reason there is is entirely about 'I want to see
only the low 8 bits of the argument'. So I would suggest nobody ever
use that format in the first place, but if they do, the clang
behavious is simply always wrong. Because '%hhu' takes an 'int'. It's
that simple. ]

This will be useful to define a NULL-terminated array inside a function
call.
Currently, string arrays passed to match() are defined in separate
places:
static const char *const init_sections[] = { ALL_INIT_SECTIONS, NULL };
static const char *const text_sections[] = { ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS, NULL };
static const char *const optim_symbols[] = { "*.constprop.*", NULL };
...
/* Check for pattern 5 */
if (match(fromsec, text_sections) &&
match(tosec, init_sections) &&
match(fromsym, optim_symbols))
return 0;
With the new helper macro, you can list the patterns directly in the
function call, like this:
/* Check for pattern 5 */
if (match(fromsec, PATTERNS(ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS)) &&
match(tosec, PATTERNS(ALL_INIT_SECTIONS)) &&
match(fromsym, PATTERNS("*.contprop.*")))
return 0;

The section name of Rel and Rela starts with ".rel" and ".rela"
respectively (but, I do not know whether this is specification or
convention).
For example, ".rela.text" holds relocation entries applied to the
".text" section.
So, the code chops the ".rel" or ".rela" prefix to get the name of
the section to which the relocation applies.
However, I do not like to skip 4 or 5 bytes blindly because it is
potential memory overrun.
The ELF specification provides a more reliable way to do this.
- The sh_info field holds extra information, whose interpretation
depends on the section type
- If the section type is SHT_REL or SHT_RELA, the sh_info field holds
the section header index of the section to which the relocation
applies.

The section index is always positive, so the argument, secindex, should
be unsigned.
Also, inserted the array range check.
If sym->st_shndx is a special section index (between SHN_LORESERVE and
SHN_HIRESERVE), there is no corresponding section header.
For example, if a symbol specifies an absolute value, sym->st_shndx is
SHN_ABS (=0xfff1).
The current users do not cause the out-of-range access of
info->sechddrs[], but it is better to avoid such a pitfall.

Swap the order of 'mkdir' and 'trap' just in case the subshell is
interrupted between 'mkdir' and 'trap' although the effect might be
subtle.
This does not intend to make the cleanup perfect. There are more cases
that miss to remove the tmp directory, for example:
- When interrupted, dash does not invoke the EXIT trap (bash does)
- 'rm' command might be interrupted before removing the directory
I am not addressing all the cases since the tmp directory is harmless
after all.

Commit 9ad21c3f3ecf ("kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in
modpost") added Elf_Sword (in a wrong way), but did not use it at all.
BTW, the current code looks weird.
The fix for the 32-bit part would be:
Elf64_Sword --> Elf32_Sword
(inconsistet prefix, Elf32_ vs Elf64_)
The fix for the 64-bit part would be:
Elf64_Sxword --> Elf64_Sword
(the size is different between Sword and Sxword)
Note:
Elf32_Sword == Elf64_Sword == int32_t
Elf32_Sxword == Elf64_Sxword == int64_t
Anyway, let's drop unused code instead of fixing it.

There's been an ongoing mission to re-enable the -Wformat warning for
Clang. A previous attempt at enabling the warning showed that there were
many instances of this warning throughout the codebase. The sheer amount
of these warnings really polluted builds and thus -Wno-format was added
to _temporarily_ toggle them off.
After many patches the warning has largely been eradicated for x86,
x86_64, arm, and arm64 on a variety of configs. The time to enable the
warning has never been better as it seems for the first time we are
ahead of them and can now solve them as they appear rather than tackling
from a backlog.
As to the root cause of this large backlog of warnings, Clang seems to
pickup on some more nuanced cases of format warnings caused by implicit
integer conversion as well as default argument promotions from
printf-like functions.

The cc-option macro creates the temporary directory, .tmp_$$$$.
Shell expands '$$' into its process ID. '$$$$' results in repeated PID.
In Makefile, '$$$$' is correct (see TMPOUT in scripts/Malefile.compiler)
because '$$' is an escape sequence of '$'. Make expands '$$$$' into '$$',
then shell expands it into the process ID.
This does not apply to Kconfig because Kconfig requires variable
references to be enclosed by curly braces, like ${variable}.
The '$' that is not followed by '{' loses its effect.

By default, 'buildroot' contains %{_arch} (see /usr/lib/rpm/macros).
_arch is generally defined in /usr/lib/rpm/platforms/*/macros, where
the platform sub-directory is specified by --target= option for cross
builds.
If the given arch does not exist, %{_arch} is not expanded.
In the example above, --target=arm is passed to rpmbuild, but
/usr/lib/rpm/platforms/arm-linux/ does not exist.
The '%' character in the path confuses GNU make and rpmbuild.
The same occurs for such architectures as csky, microblaze, nios2, etc.
Define _arch if it has not been defined.

This script is only used in certs/Makefile, so certs/ is a better
home for it.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
has been there for 3 weeks"

In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions
and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32-
and/or 64-bit values.
Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as
well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are
currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content
byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned
memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime.
Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the
hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on
parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such
unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash
the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers
(which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I
noticed that issue at all).
This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time.
It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply
tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those
sections by default.
